Measurement parameter input control device and measurement parameter input control method

Abstract

A measurement parameter input control method and a measurement parameter input control device are provided which can intuitively change measurement parameters, which are set for a target device and are necessary for various measuring processes, with high operability. The measurement parameter input control device includes: a parameter processing section that acquires measurement parameter information including measurement parameters from a target device and that rewrites changed parameters which are measurement parameters after the changing to the target device; a parameter identifying section that identifies the types of the parameters in the acquired measurement parameter information and outputs soft key constructing information for constructing a parameter setting soft key based on the identified measurement parameter information, a display control section that includes a soft key controller displaying and controlling the parameter setting soft key based on the measurement parameter information on a display screen of a display unit on the basis of the soft key constructing information from the parameter identifying section; and an input unit that operates the parameter setting soft key displayed on the display unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A measurement parameter input control method of changing a plurality of measurement parameters of a target device for which the plurality of measurement parameters necessary for performing a measuring process of measuring an electrical signal are set, comprising:
 a parameter information acquiring step of acquiring measurement parameter information including the measurement parameters from the target device; 
 a parameter information display step of displaying and controlling the acquired measurement parameter information on a display screen; 
 a parameter information selecting step of selecting one measurement parameter from the measurement parameter information displayed on the display screen; 
 a soft key control step of displaying and controlling one parameter setting soft key of a plurality of parameter setting soft keys prepared in advance for changing the measurement parameters on the display screen; 
 a display switching key display step of displaying a display switching key for switching and displaying the plurality of parameter setting soft keys on the display screen; 
 a parameter setting soft key selecting step of displaying the parameter setting soft key other than the displayed parameter setting soft key on the display screen instead of the displayed parameter setting soft key when the display switching key is pressed; and 
 a parameter rewriting step of rewriting the measurement parameter changed by using the previously-selected parameter setting soft key to the target device, 
 wherein the soft key control step includes an upper and lower limit display step of displaying and controlling an upper and lower limit display area for displaying upper and lower limits of the measurement parameters in the vicinity of a parameter display area in the plurality of parameter setting soft keys prepared in advance. 
 
     
     
       2. A measurement parameter input control device for changing a plurality of measurement parameters of a target device for which the plurality of measurement parameters necessary for performing a measuring process of measuring an electrical signal are set, comprising:
 a parameter processing unit that acquires measurement parameter information including the measurement parameters from the target device; 
 a display control unit that includes a measurement parameter controller displaying the acquired measurement parameter information on a display screen of a display unit and a soft key controller displaying and controlling one parameter setting soft key of a plurality of parameter setting soft keys prepared in advance for changing the measurement parameters on the display screen of the display unit; and 
 an input unit that selects one measurement parameter from the measurement parameter information displayed on the display screen and operates the parameter setting soft key displayed on the display unit, 
 wherein the soft key controller displays a display switching key for displaying the parameter setting soft key other than the displayed parameter setting soft key instead of the displayed parameter setting soft key out of the plurality of parameter setting soft keys, 
 wherein the soft key controller displays and controls an upper and lower limit display area for displaying upper and lower limits of the measurement parameters in the vicinity of a parameter display area in the plurality of parameter setting soft keys prepared in advance. 
 
     
     
       3. The measurement parameter input control device according to  claim 2 , wherein the input unit includes a rotary knob, and
 wherein the soft key controller controls the display so as to change the measurement parameters displayed in the plurality of parameter setting soft keys prepared in advance by interlocking with the operation of the rotary knob.
